The science and engineering students selected will perform research in three interrelated research streams spanning Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, as well as Cultural Heritage Science. Over the eight week duration of the program, they will participate in interdisciplinary seminars at the interface of science and art and will be required to write two blog entries to share their IRES experience. At the conclusion of their program, participating students will compile final project reports.
